Shivani recently traveled from Kenya to Peru where she spent several unforgettable days with the Spectacled Bear Conservation (SBC) project. She was greatly impressed by their team’s dedication to conserving South America’s only species of bear.

Read Shivani’s account of her time in the mountains searching for the enigmatic spectacled bears, while also learning about SBC’s programs that range from bear habitat and dietary research to community livelihood development. Their team (including Felicita pictured above in her amazing hat) was incredibly welcoming and demonstrated a unique bond, which no doubt contributes to their success.

Although an ocean apart – and working on notably different species – both Ewaso Lions and SBC share some interesting similarities. Click the link below to find out more.

Video of Releasing a Rescued Vulture Into Wild

Vultures are misunderstood and often persecuted despite the important role they play in maintaining ecosystem health. When a critically endangered White-backed Vulture was found injured and unable to fly, a team from the Peregrine Fund and Raptor Working Group snapped into action to rescue and rehabilitate the bird. This month, we assisted in the successful release of the vulture back into Buffalo Springs National Reserve.
